       Well done Jon Moss. Too many occasions in the past goalkeepers
       have been treated far too leniently by referees.

       For me the issue isn't the retake, which is a factual decision,
       but the initial penalty. I really worry that if that is the
       measure by which handball is now judged, we're heading for a
       similar approach to in UEFA football where pretty much every
       time it hits a hand it's handball, which doesn't sit well with
       me. The problem is that most handballs look worse in super slow
       motion and there's no allowance for full speed natural body
       movements when running, jumping or tackling.

       And yet a more clear cut handball goes unpunished in the arsenal
       - West Ham game...

       I'm sorry - in what godly earth, is an arm bent at head height
       "natural" ?

       If you look at it again his hand isn’t at head height. When you
       run your arms are going to come up naturally, you can’t run with
       your arms by your side

       Well as we are part of UEFA, then maybe it’s about time we are
       adopting the same approach. It can’t be good for players, and
       our referees, playing to one set of law interpretation in the
       Premier League and then playing to a different set midweek in
       European competitions or European qualifiers etc.
       This is how FIFA/UEFA want elite football. Hopefully the fans
       will vote their feet/ tv subscriptions.

       As far as I can tell, the whole idea is that there's a universal
       approach and that's what the Premier League have signed up to -
       which is what loads of people were calling for last season. 'Why
       does the Premier League think it knows best? etc.'
       If it's given in the CL it will also be givne in the PL this
       season.

       Might be correct by law but not when he was barely off his line
       , I can guarantee you that you will see plenty of incidents this
       season where goalkeepers are well off their line on a penalty
       kick and the save stands
       [/quote]
       Well those would be incorrect decisions so we can criticise if
       that happens but it's a factual decision so I don't think it
       generally will. This is something FIFA have requested and the PL
       have signed up to - TVOS is right that we've seen things like
       grappling in penalty areas changed after a few weeks but I don't
       see them doing that this season because it's black and white and
       like offside last season you can't suddenly change once the
       season has started.

       Watching on MOTD, I think the ball hit the body too high up to
       be handball under the new laws.

       I thought this was a tough one.  Player looked as if he was
       intending to head the ball; his arm wasn't fully outstretched,
       more bent at the elbow; and where it actually struck was hard to
       tell.  The problem is the ball isn't like an arrow point, it's
       round with a circumference and therefore covers a wider area.
       I'm not sure Oliver even saw it. There was no appeal as far as I
       could see so no action to denote 'no penalty'.  I suspect if
       Oliver had awarded the penalty it wouldn't have been overruled
       either.  Umpire's call you might say.
       The Lindelof incident could have fallen into the same category
       but Moss presumably deemed it 'clear and obvious' and advised
       Atkinson to view the monitor.  I wonder if we'll see many
       incidents where a referee having been so advised will stick to
       his original decision, the onfield referee being the final
       arbiter.
